Finally got a flat for this year!
Its fuckin awesome, its been rebuilt from the inside with a ton of insulation, as soon as you walk inside you can tell its gonna stay warm. 5bedrooms with 2 upstairs and 3 down. one of the ones at the front has an extra little room attached thats gonna become the band room.
its got a heat pump in the lounge (airconditioning and heater in one, basically a heat exchanger) got a cool deck upstairs and nice porch out the front. the kitchens pretty good with a decent oven, huge new washing machine and dryer. new carpet backyard, off street parking, only 1.3km to university, supermarket and shops just down the road. all that and its only $80 per person a week.
feeling a bit sad about moving out of home cause i'm the last living at home, but at the same time i'm stoked on finding a wicked place to move into.
fuck jea!

^ HAHAHA holy shit, that first vid. OMG.
YES SO STOKED!!
my lil brother is working on my car and doing it for FREE!! yay new O2 sensors, alignment needs to be done, needs new rotars, needs new heat switch, headlights need to be replaced, new tires are being put on and its all for FREE! holy shit he just saved my ass so badly! im going to be in debt to him forever now.
luckily all i have to pay for now is the replacement of the timing belt which another shop needs to do. so thatll only put me back about $500. oh yes so stoked!

Whoa whoa whoa....this seems slightly unfair. I need an alignment as well, and I think your bro should offer a free one to your friend from PH. I mean, it's a perfectly legit reason. I started a cool cult and I should be rewarded for it. By getting a free alignment.
hahaha well if youd like you can bring your car up to ballston spa and ill see what he can do! hahaha seriously though its a strict foreign auto only place..meaning benz, bmws, triumphs, bentleys ....i roll in and am surrounded by volvos, saabs etc my poor hyundai felt so out of place!
Ghey...........it was worth a try though.
yeah i know.....so sorry.
trust me dude its about time i got off of my ass and had something done about this. ive now acquired 6 tickets over the past year. why you ask? because my inspection was up....since 2006! i got pulled over again the other day but the cop let me go with a warning and then had the audacity to ask me out. sorry buddy i dont date cops

Well, best and first bona fide pow day of my life, which isn't saying much.
I was at Dodge Ridge, and for those of you who don't know, it's a small resort in between tahoe and yosemite.
Showed up, and there was NO ONE there. Some tracks, but not many. Most everyone was scared away by the blizzard.
2 feet of absolutely wonderful cold powder snow. My dad and I had 3 or 4 descents in virgin stuff.
Some caveats: center-mounted AR6s and I do not ski well in pow. They killed in the crud, or maybe I had gotten used to it by the end of the day. Dodge is also really not steep, so speed was an issue in the freshies.
All in all, a great day. I'll post the two pics we took later.

And I have post-running stoke! Yeah! Classes started today, 7 credits, wooo! And I have to cook up some Italian food tonight, gonna try out my dads Christmas present to me - White Truffle Oil. Mmmmm...

Just got back from Jackson Hole. I was up there with Julie (SkierJulie) and my friends Josh and Lauren. We had a great trip.
This past saturday we skied with a bunch of friends exactly one year to the day after an avalanche caught three of my friends and killed Justin. There was officially 14 inches the time that the lifts closed the day before until 5 am the next morning. By the time the lifts opened it may have been more like 18 inches overnight. It was so good to be out on a great pow day skiing with Justin's friends and celebrating life on such a bad anniversary. We got a backcountry lap that was face shots all the way down.
It was also so good to see how the community came together a year later. So many people were giving there best to Justin's best friends.

My daughter asked me to put Peter Pan on again. I asked her, "You like Peter Pan, huh?"
....and she says,...."Yes Mom, I certainly do."
What 3 year old says that?! Hahaha I laughed so hard. I think 'certainly' is the biggest word she's used so far.

That's a good story; it makes me happy and sad. I'm glad you had fun, though.
I'm stoked that the first two days of class are over. Only three more left this week, wooooo!
Oh yeah, and MY SHARK TATTOO GETS FINISHED on Saturday! Yep, I thought that deserved all caps. Fourth session over the better part of a year... ack. I'm ready for it to be complete!

Alright, some pics from Dodge!!! We got the camera out in the late afternoon, so it was a bit tracked, and my dad didn't go with me to the steeper/deeper powder.
The mountain full of snow!
Snow!

I'm back in school, so that's it, until two weeks from now.
Nice photos dude! The goggle gap is fucking steezy as hell.
